For sale, XL vintage 64cm Colnago C40 B-Stay with Campagnolo Record 10 Triple components, 64cm c-t seat tube, 59cm top tube, color scheme LX10. In the 1990s Colnago started to produce their very successful model C40 C for carbon and 40 to commemorate Colnagos 40th year in business. Full carbon frame with Master profile carbon tubes bonded to carbon lugs. Ernesto Colnago solved the problem of how to make a carbon frame durable enough to win the toughest cobbled Classics yet light enough to soar up Alpine cols. Thats the reason why the C40 is the favorite bike of all time for so many people including Sir Bradley Wiggins. Colnago could have created something with perhaps a swoopy, futuristic profile befitting its revolutionary design. Instead he kept the tubes ramrod-straight in the traditional style albeit with the star-shaped cross-section that he had pioneered with the steel Master. When we built the C40, we were the only ones to build carbon frames and all the mechanics and competitor technicians were saying that they would be too dangerous to use on cobbled roads, especially with the straight carbon forks. There was a company that wanted to fit suspension forks on the bicycle, but I wasnt going to have suspension forks on the C40. The night before Paris- Roubaix I had Mr. I told him that wed done all of the tests that we could on the frame and the fork and we were certain there would be no problem. I had to take personal responsibility for what was going to happen and I spent all night worrying about it, barely able to sleep. But when I heard that there were 4 Mapei riders in the break, I knew I could relax. The C40 went on to win 5 editions of Paris-Roubaix in 6 years. This bike is the 3rd incarnation of C40 from the early 2000’s, the Colnago C40 B-stay model with B-chainstays to improve efficiency and comfort, completely built with a Campagnolo Record 10s triple groupset. The bike has a few chips in the paint, but otherwise is in great condition with no mechanical or structural problems. I’ve got a number of other bikes, so I’m looking to sell off some of the extras. Please note that this bike does not come with pedals, as indicated in the list of components. This bike is designed to fit someone 6’3″ to 6’6″ in size.
